Hey Guys/Girls

Ok so I am now devoted to getting a six pack and while I am still big I know it will take dedication and patience, so I was wondering a few thing. I weight 255 and I am 5’11” I am naturally big too at 195 IBS I will have a 32 inch waist I know because I used to be thin. I will not starve myself but I don’t want to overeat so let me start by listing my eating habits.

6:00AM Peanut butter+ Jelly sandwich, 2 small Tangerines (oranges), cup of Milk, Quakers Oatmeal
Snack 9AM Peanut Butter + Jelly sandwich, 10 Almonds( or banana)
Lunch 12PM Turkey sandwich with bit of mayo, mustard, Tabasco sauce, cheese, Apple, yogurt,
Snack 3Pm-4:30Pm Have Protein Shake with water 100 Calories usually after workouts
Supper 6PM either Steak or salad with chicken or Pasta it varies.

These meals are not always the same but is generally what I eat for a day.

My workout consist Of 30-45 Min of intense interval training Full body muscle 3 Days a week
Other day Cardio/ Abs for 30-45 Min Intense No Breaks
I will occasionally do 20 min of cardio at night both nights and I will take a rest day if I don’t feel like working out.

I drink Plenty of water and I do not take any calories from liquids except protein shake and cup of milk
Also I make sure to get at least 7 hours of sleep a night.
I also take multi vitamins twice a day and omega-3 one every 2 days
I am interested In burning Fat and maintaining muscle I have a lot of muscle on me already covered by a lot of fat Think football Player style.
I have a few questions that I have.

1) Am I over eating I will not starve myself I have done so in the past and believe me I learned never again.
2) What do you guys think of this routine please leave feedback. Will I be able to get a six pack eventually with this routine.
Thanks for listening and I am looking forward to your input.
 
can i get a breakdown of total calories, fat, carbs and protein. From what I'm seeing there, your carbs look highish for cutting... Carbs while cutting should be around 40% of your total calories in... I'm also seeing a big lack of fruits and veggies, they should be your prime carb sources throughout the day.

Workout is subjective, would need to see more. Long as you aren't doing useless tings like bicep curls, tri extension, and are staying far away from every machine you should be good to go. Focus on free weights and compound movements...

Also, post workout, you want more calories. 50g protein and 100g carbs if you worked yourself at a max intensity with heavy weights for your size. for cardio or high rep circuts it's not near as important though, just eat a regular meal.. But carbs are most important post workout, moreso than protein.. you need to get some. white rice or pasta are great for this if you don't have access to a wine store for dextrose/maltodextrin.
 
My Workout consist of 3 day 3-4 interval ( No Rest except 30 second break at the end of each interval) training high reps 15-20 of push ups, biceps curls, lunges among others 3 sets 10 to 15 Ibs of weight no more (not trying to build muscle) and other days I will do Cardio and then abs 45 min intense.

My Eating habits for carbs I don’t know the break down but I will have 6-8 Pieces of bread and 3-4 fruits and veggies. I guess I can up my fruits and take away 2 pieces of bread. I know I am definitely getting enough protein. I guess i can add mild tot he protien shake instead of water to get extra carbs
